1. Oltre i confini del libro. La letteratura italiana nell'era digitale

   Beyond the boundaries of the book. The Italian literature in the digital age is the master thesis of Daniele Giampà, a student of Italian and Spanish philology at the university of Zurich. The analysis of the Italian digital literature is articulated in three main parts: history of the electronic literature, predecessors of electronic literature and the analysis of works of Italian digital literature written between 1997-2012. The selection of the works is based on a taxonomy elaborate in the introduction of the thesis.

   The central arguments of the thesis are the creation of an analytical instrument for the digital context, that is the matrix composed of the dimension of narratology and the dimension of informatics, the demonstration of the analogies between print literature and electronic/digital literature and the innovations brought by new media to literature.

2. Towards the Recognition of the Shell as an Integral Part of the Digital Text

   Although the theory of hypertext fiction does not regard the Shell as a text, writers of digital fiction, have long started to blurr the boundaries between the Reader and the “main” text. Both interpreters of (fictional) hypertexts and pt-ogrammers of hypertext-environments need to acknowledge this fact in order to accomodate current wrltlng practices.

3. Approaching the Real: Materiality in Digital Literature

   Digital literature foregrounds its own medium, and it foregrounds the graphic, material aspects of language. Experiments with the new medium and with the form of language are generally presented and interpreted within a framework of the historical avant-garde or the neo-avantgarde. This paper aims to take a new perspective on the emerging digital materiality of language.
   The analysis of the work of work that use digitalized handwriting or graffiti-like drawing (for example in Jason Nelson, the digital artist of hybrid works between games, literature and video) leads to the conclusion that the effect of this materiality is an ambivalent relation to affect, reality and the body.
   In other words: an ‘absent presence’ is foregrounded. The paradoxical and spectral merging of presence and absence makes these forms of digital literature an expression of a specifically late postmodernist stance towards representation of the ‘real’. Complicity with the media-culture goes hand in hand with an ironic approach of the mediatedness of the world and the body.

4. Teaching Digital Literature within a “Research and Teaching Partnership” in a Transatlantic Blended Learning Environment (ELMCIP Anthology)

   This is an updated, edited version of the conference paper presented in 2008.

   The paper outlines the practices of teaching digital literature at the University of Siegen in Germany where Peter Gendolla and Joergen Schaefer taught courses on literature in computer-based media for students of both Literary and Media Studies. This paper thus provides an historical synopsis of the didactical transformations the teaching practices have undergone as well as an overview of the University’s profile and its focus on research and teaching literary studies. In 2007, the classroom moved online and held a class transatlantically in cooperation with Roberto Simanowski (Brown University/Providence, RI, USA). The online course approached an experimental Blended Learning concept. The paper introduces the methodological concept of the class “Digital Aesthetics” and discusses using Online Communication Systems in the context of the course of studies: Net Literature.
